Resizing photos ??

**YAKOBU** · 09-22-2007, 19:36

Hi everyone

I wonder if you can help me with a small problem.

I have just spent 2 weeks in Tenerife and have taken plenty of pics on my new digital camera. I want to upload them to a website I have subscribed to but the maximum size allowed is 1 Meg and these pics are nearer 2 Megs.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

What image/photo editing software do you have, if any?

Download the GIMP (it's free). With it, you can resize your photos, compress them, edit them, whatever.

Well the digital camera put the following on my desktop:

ACD FotoSlate 3.0

ACD Showtime! for PENTAX

ACDSee for PENTAX 2.0

These any use?

If you have adobe photoshop, do the following, as it will reduce file size, but unfortunately picture size.

*Click on the 'Image' button at the top, inbetween 'Edit' and 'Layer'.

*On the dropdown box click 'Image Size...'

*The box that comes up should be easier said than done - just type in your measurements.

And here's one i made earlier, resized down from my native resolution of 1440x900 to 800x500. If i kept them at 1440x900, their file size would be absurdly big.

How are people managing to send me JPEG pics of themselves that are in 100's of KB's when I am in the 1000's?

Is it because I am using a digital camera (higher quality)?
